Annotation: The latest in the"Routledge English Texts" series, "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" is John Ford's tragic tale of religious skepticism, incest, and revenge. Edited by Simon Barker, this critical edition explores the larger realm of early seventeenth-century theater and seeks to de- center Shakespeare as the only valid voice of the period. This edition of the play is worked afresh from the Quarto.
"'Tis Pity She's A Whore" includes an introduction, complete notes, and a critical essay encompassing the fields of early Stuart theater, the sources and influences of John Ford, a critical history of the play, and an analysis of modern interpretations based on the issues of gender and sexuality.

Publisher Description:
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in John Ford and especially 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, his tragedy of religious scepticism, incestuous love, and revenge. This text in particular has provided a focus for scholarship as well as being the subject of a number of major theatrical productions.
Simon Barker guides the reader through the full range of previous interpretations of the play; moving from an overview of traditional readings he goes on to enlarge upon new questions that have arisen as a consequence of critical and cultural theory.
